Finish this statement: Fewer bpm equals a __

tempo.

1. louder

2. slower

3. softer

4. faster

2. slower

Explanation:

If you're playing a song with a presto tempo (aka the fastest traditionally accepted tempo) its bpm is around 200. A largo tempo, which is one of the slowest tempos for non-contemporary composers, is closer to 60. Clearly, the fewer bpm, the slower the tempo; and this makes sense, because bpm stands for beats per minute, and fewer beats over the same time = slower music.

2. Slower is less movement
